About Damascus Health Services
Damascus Health Services is a 44-bed drug and alcohol unit inside Brisbane Private Hospital, treating adults with problems related to alcohol and prescribed or over-the-counter medication.

Day patient follow-up runs Monday to Saturday, alongside family sessions and a DVA program.

We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.
